The curing OF bay 10 the cock is q prac.

Those who make q business OF gathering
and drying medicinal herbs always dry
them under cover, or in the shade, as the
way to secure them ia the greatest perfec.
tion OF preservation. Grass cured in the
same way would give quality Of hay now
rarely or pever seen. One man we heard
at an agricultural meeting gave his expert
ence in tins matter. Having plenty Of
barn room he cured his hay IN tue barn =
enough TO keep his COW and with the
most saiisfsct"t. retults. OF course no
large farmer who hiss acres OF grass 10 cut
can do this; Lnt here is the principle. and
it's practical application to curing grass
seems as yet to be by curing 10 the cock
Especially should clover be cured il this
manner. Dried in the sun, spread upon
the ground, its leaves are dried to brittle
ness and are lost 10 handling, while the
large. succuent stalks are yet green and
unfit for storage Curing in cocks is sub
Iect to one loss- the coming on OF rain
which will damage the hay, though IL Il.

Managing Manures.

Among some farmers there is a COM
plant that their horse manure "fire fsngs''
or passes through the heating process
which is so intense that the manure is well
burned ur. This is exceedingly iDjur-
ions to the manure, and can, and should
be prevented. 1t occurs, or is liable to
occur, when the manure is thrown loosely
into pit, and without being disturbed,
will commence to generate heat. Horse
manure has a stronger tendency in that
direction than that OF most any other ami
NAL, and this can be prevented, and the
value OF the manure maintained, il at
tended to as it should be. There is no
trouble where, as is sometimes the case,
horse manure is cast into the hog pen, as
it is then worked over with the hog ma
nure. whereby both are improved. An
other method which is equally as effectual
in preventing heating, is to cart the same
under shed, where cattle are accustomed
10 tread or to lie; when packed thus close,
ly, and wet. as 1t occasionally must be, by
the urine Of animals, it is kept moist until
wanted for use. The same practice 10 con
neclion with sheep would be valuable. and
equally AS ilectual We have always
fou I'd that any manure that left TO itself.
thrown loosely intoa pile, was liable to
become heated, when packed tightly IN.
der the tread Of animals, would be pre-
served with all its manural value retained.
Sheep manure, while thus kept closely
packed, excluding the air, will not heat
but when loosely pitched into pile will
soon heat and expel the valued elements OF
fertility.

Did TIE square Thing.

On Sunday last l.. 0. Benedict,
recently convicted of embezzling
the funds of the Odd Fellows
Lodge of Eureka, met Warden Me
Cullough on the street and In-
formed him that he had been sent
to the Penitenliary for two years
from Eureka, and wanted to be
shown to his cell. He showed the
commitment, and Mccullough,
quite astonished. looked them over:
but not knowing Benedict, asked
for further proof and compelled
Benedict to write to the Eureka
Sheriff in Reno for it. It was duly
received and Benedict accompanied
Mccullough to the Prison.
He had reached Reno with Sheriff
Sweeney and asked for day to see
Reno friends. Sweeney who had
known Benedict for years placed
his prisoner on his honor, he promis-
ing to report in Carson on the fol-
lowing day, which be did as above
described. He certainly ought to
start with a big credit mark.

The Inyo Register of April a
says: Parties from Carson and
Reno have been paying frequent
and prolonged visits to Inyo of late,
and while 1t was potent, some en-
terprise was in contemplation. just
what, could not be ascertaiued un-
til recently. The facts are, how
ever, as we have learned. that the
largest irrigation canal in the coun-
try Is soon to be commenced, and
some 10000 acres of land brought
under cultivation. The canal is to
be taken from the river on the East
ern side, near Chrysopolis. Its ca
pacity will he $1,000 inches its width
City feet at the bottom, and the es-
tinated depth of the water will be
three feet. Twenty thousand acres
of land have been located, and the
ditch to reach this land will be %
miles in length in fact, extending
from the point mentioned clear to
the lake. There is abundant can't
tai and energy behind the enter
Prise, and 1T will undoubtedly be
pushed to completion.
